  • We are given this quadratic expression x^2+6x+4 and we have to convert it into one of the given choices. We can use the completing square method or the SAT way, which is just plug-in and check. We will do both!

    I solved the question in less than 5 seconds no joke lol. I just simplified the bionomial, and since thats a common one, I already knew it, and then I just had to subtract.

    Well for (x + 3)² you get a constant of 9 so you'd need a -5 to get to 4. This is the kinda thinking they teach in FIITJEE and other prep schools I've heard. Never saw the use in them myself.

    Interesting ways of doing it without actually completing the square.
    What I'd do:
    (x + b)^2 = x^2 + 2bx + b^2
    2b = 6
    b = 3
    (x + 3)^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9
    (x + 3)^2 - 5 = x^2 + 6x + 4
    and we're done.

    So the easiest method and shortest to Do is find the minimum point or maximum of the curve like we already know that for (x+b)²+c the minimum point is ( -b,c). If you plug in - 3 in x²+6x + 4 you get -5 which satisfies the second option . You won't even try plugging in +3 as (x-3)² - c is bound to have an X term that is negative which is unacceptable

    I find it hard to believe that the stuff you're posting is actually on the SAT. Give us what you really think are some of the hardest questions you can find. And if this really is how easy the SAT math portion is, well thanks lol

    sub x = 3 gives a number larger than 5, so not (x-3)²
    sub x=-3, 9-18+4=-5

    I was like:
    OK so here we have pos 6x which means the answer is either A or B. I'd wet square 3 we get 9, and wet have to subtract 5 to get 4. Therefore the answer is B! #YAY!
